Buddy Logan

Just like his listeners, Buddy Logan is first and foremost a lover of Texas Music.
“I love real music written and sung by the same person. And story songs,” Buddy says. “The way a Robert Earl Keen or Chris Knight spin a story is pretty much unheard of now. It’s a shame more people don’t get to hear music of that caliber on radio much anymore.”
And his infectious passion for the music oozes throughout Radio Texas, LIVE! It’s been a love affair since he first heard Pat Green’s “Carry On” in 2001.
Buddy spent the final two years of high school in Idaho working with and weening every bit of radio greatness he could from the legendary Tommy Winters. Soon after graduating in 1999, he made his way south to Texas to attend college — and it wasn’t long before he was back in radio, this time in East Texas.
Despite not knowing one thing about the music, when the station he was at asked him to host a Texas Music show, he jumped at it. So for him, it was on the radio spinning the music, where he first discovered guys like Charlie Robison, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Robert Earl Keen, Jason Boland, Cory Morrow and Pat Green.
“I had no idea who these guys were. And at the time there wasn’t nearly as much as there is now. In fact, we were so short on music I had to fill out the show with burned CDs from friends. So at this point, I barely knew the music and since I was playing burned CDs, I didn’t even know the titles of songs, I just played stuff I liked and guessed the titles. It was a mess!” Buddy said. “But it wasn’t long before it was all I was listening to. I loved it.”
After serving six years in the U.S. Army, which included two tours in Iraq, Buddy returned to Texas and the radio in 2008. He’s been playing Texas Music on the radio ever since, and at 101.5 KNUE in Tyler, Texas since 2011. It was here where Radio Texas, LIVE! was first born, and eventually syndicated across 12 markets in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Buddy still broadcasts his show every Saturday night from Tyler, Texas.
In between all the Texas Music, Buddy managed to graduate from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2010, with a degree in Business Marketing.
Asked what his job is, Buddy said, “That’s simple, the music I play deserves to be heard. So, my job is to make sure that happens. I play Texas Music on the radio.”
And, of course on RadioTexasLive.com.
“I think this is a great opportunity to give Texas Music a much bigger stage,” Buddy said. “Now we’re in 12 markets — and most the stations that carry Radio Texas, LIVE! had never played any Texas Music before, and now online too? It is so awesome, it’s finally getting the platform that it has been missing for too long.”

In 2015 Jamey Johnson will be making music as he sees fit. Johnson, has carved out a niche doing country music the way he wants to, and because of this has always seemed to be chilling on the outside, looking in.

2012 was the last time we heard new music from American Aquarium. Of course that was still a good 14 months before I'd discovered the North Carolina based band, myself. Burn. Flicker. Die, was the name of the project. It was produced by Americana stalwart, and NBC The Voice snubber, Jason Isbell.

I love seeing this. Love it when our Texas and Oklahoma bands get the national love they deserve. If you recall, back in November Wade Bowen tweeted that he and the boys would be heading to Los Angeles to record a performance for Conan on TBS, well, that day is today.

To wrap up 2014, two of Texas' most prolific singers, Pat Green and Lyle Lovett sat on top of the Texas chart with Girls from Texas, for four consecutive weeks. Well, now it's 2015, and Josh Abbott Band, Kyle Park and Aaron Watson are all looking to start off the new year with a new No. 1 song. Who lands it? Let’s find out.

This week marks the 30th consecutive year that I have not attended Music Fest in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Yup, that's right, I've never been to Texas and Red Dirt's biggest music and ski festival. It's sa

When it comes to album art, The Dodd Sisters at Backstage Design are two of the hottest designers in Texas. The duo was nominated for a Grammy in 2011 for their work on Reckless Kelly's Good Luck and True Love, before winning it in 2013 for the artwork on Reckless's Long Night Moon.

2014 was a good year in Texas Music. We got great new albums from Cody Johnson, Sunny Sweeney, Stoney LaRue and Wade Bowen. Reckless Kelly won a Grammy, and a few bands took big steps forward in the collective conscience of all Texas Music lovers including: Curtis Grimes, Sam Riggs and William Clark Green.
